Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1106418-3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Base - Box Mount
• Style: Side Entry
• Size: 3
• Thread Size: M25
• Ingress Protection Rating: IP65 - Dust Tight, Water Resistant
• Lock Location: Locking Clip (1) on Base Bottom
• Features: Cover, Feed Through

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant or RoHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• ECCN Classification: EAR99

The Weidmüller 1788160000 satisfies all mandatory matching parameters and compliance requirements, establishing it as a direct functional equivalent despite differences in housing color, finish, and dimensional tolerances within acceptable ranges.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Weidmüller 1788160000 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1106418-3. Selection of this substitute is based on the following engineering criteria:

Functional Equivalence: Both connectors share identical specifications for connector type, style, size, thread size, ingress protection rating, and locking mechanism. The M25 side entry configuration and IP65 rating ensure equivalent performance in dust-tight and water-resistant applications.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance (RoHS3 for the original, RoHS for the substitute) and share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, confirming regulatory compatibility.

Product Status: The Weidmüller part maintains active product status with current manufacturing and availability, addressing the obsolescence of the original TE Connectivity component.

Dimensional Tolerance: Width and height dimensions differ by 0.099" (2.50mm) and 0.177" (4.50mm) respectively. These variations remain within acceptable mechanical tolerances for box-mount applications and do not affect functional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Weidmüller 1788160000 directly replace the TE Connectivity 1106418-3 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical specifications for connector type, style, size, thread size, ingress protection rating, and locking mechanism. The M25 thread and side entry configuration ensure mechanical and functional compatibility.

Q: Are there differences in housing material between these connectors?

A: The TE Connectivity part uses aluminum with aluminum oxide finish, while the Weidmüller part uses die-cast aluminum with powder coating. Both materials provide equivalent corrosion resistance and durability for IP65-rated applications.

Q: Do the dimensional differences affect installation?

A: The Weidmüller connector has slightly larger width (0.099" greater) and height (0.177" greater) dimensions. These differences are within acceptable mechanical tolerances for box-mount applications. Verify mounting cavity dimensions in your specific installation to confirm adequate clearance.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity part is RoHS3 compliant, and the Weidmüller part is RoHS compliant. Both meet current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for the Weidmüller substitute?

A: The operating temperature range for the Weidmüller 1788160000 is not specified in the provided documentation. The original TE Connectivity part operates from -40°C to 80°C. Confirm temperature requirements with application specifications before final selection.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity part is available in standard packaging, while the Weidmüller part is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements for your procurement and inventory management processes.
